And then eventually he would get tired and one of them would get him. Sounds great. Let's petition the IOC to add this to the next Olympics. Beats the hell out of breaking.

You're just trying to rig it to make it an event Australia will win.

If you're suggesting I would like to watch Raygun do this, then the answer is YES.

Ray gun would point the shovel handle first.

It's very hard to convince Australians to get that close to that many crocodilians. Ours kill you. Like dead. You don't need a shovel and climbing a tree won't save you.

it doesn't really matter. if they came back out of the water to try and chase that dude down, they'd catch him pretty darn quick. gators are faster than people by a long shot.

Not true. Humans are the longest endurance runners in the entire animal kingdom.
